Weather

Great starter topic don't you think hehe.

Seriously though, it's what is on my my mind right now. The rain is pelting down, the wind is gusting along at 85kms, 15 seconds of hail every now and then and when all that is over the sun peeks around the storm clouds and reassures us it's going to be a nice day, then the cycle starts again moments later.

Why can't it rain during the night when we aren't wanting to get outside to play or garden? It's soothing listening to the rain on the tin roof. Windy nights are frightening though. You can't see what is blowing around or how hard it's blowing, you gauge it by the noise. During the day you can watch the trees bend down for their tops to meet their roots!

Living on top of a cliff doesn't help with the stormy weather lol. Many times it's rained and gusted up here, i venture down into the gully and it's mild and less wet.

I worry about the animals. How do they feel standing out in the storm soaked to the bone, nowhere to dry off, no patch of dry ground to sit down and rest. There's plenty of trees to shelter under but i doubt they completely save any animal from the wet. I can't quite see a herd of cows, half a dozen horses, goats and a dog sitting inside my home (the dog and 1 goat are hovering in the cubby house as i write hehe) near the fire lol so i'll have to be content in thinking they are alright out there.

Spring is a less then 2 weeks in coming. Already the pollen from the pine trees is drifting. Each morning a thick layer or yellow, lines the puddles and coats the car. I am one of the lucky ones that does not get hayfever!

Summer is roughly 65 days away. One weather pattern i don't want to think about in a hurry! Give me Autumn and Spring all year round and i could be quite content :)

Until next time

Enjoy what Mother Natures blows your way
